ABSTRACT
The Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules (GOMS)
method is a well-established means of modeling the procedures
that humans use to interact with technology. We focus on two
questions: what is different about using GOMS for human-robot
interaction (HRI) versus using GOMS for traditional computer
applications, and what are promising approaches for using
GOMS to evaluate competing HRI designs? This paper raises
issues in using GOMS for modeling HRI and illustrates them
with GOMS models that compare two interfaces for urban
search-and-rescue robots. Very little work has been done with
GOMS so far in the HRI domain, so one of our chief
contributions is the guidance we provide for using GOMS for
HRI.
